Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bar belt for bar belt conveyors, esp. Siebenabband for agricultural machines, wherein the bars transversely to the direction of travel of the bar belt conveyor arranged and with their flattened ends all around, tensile, flexible belts and lie there are attached by means of screws, rent or the like, which the Insert the ends and the straps (see for example the document DE-A-3 246 528).
  • the invention is based on the object at the outset to improve the mentioned tapes so that the Mounting holes no longer lead to undesirable weakening lead and also the aforementioned notch effects of Margins can no longer occur.
  • the edges are used to achieve this object the ends in the area of the fastening elements (screws, Rent and the like) provided with bulges. Accordingly run the edges or the edges they form no longer straight, but at least on part of it Length arched. This will rest the ends on the belts significantly improved; the surface pressure decreases, and moreover the risk of Notch incisions significantly reduced. Particularly useful it is when the cross sections of the ends in the area the fasteners on the one hand and those in Area between or next to the bulges on the other hand, at least essentially agree. But it is also not excluded the ends overall to be designed so that their cross-sections correspond to the Remove the edges of the tape. In this case, too To measure bulges so that no jumps in the different cross-sectional areas of the ends occur.
  • endless Drive and deflection rollers guided sieve belt has two endless or made endless, tensile, e.g. made of rubberized Fabric existing straps 2 on its edges. This Straps are used to hold the straps across extending, steel or the like. existing rods 3, the are arranged at a mutual distance and by their Distance determine the degree of screening.
  • the rods 3 have flattened ends 4 with which they are on lie on the straps 2.
  • the rods 3 are attached by means of rivets 5, two of which are provided for each end 4 are.
  • the ends 4 have no straight edges 6 - indicated by dashed lines 7 - but Bulges 8, so dome-shaped projections over the Course along lines 7. Accordingly, there is a total of seen an essentially undulating course of the Edges 6, the shape of which depends on the degree of Bulge is dependent.
  • This design has the big one
  • the advantage is that the straps 2, if necessary Edge of the edges 6 is comparatively larger than one straight edge, so the spec. Squeeze too reduce.
  • the rivets 5 pass through the ends 4, the straps 2 and one metal strips 9 located under the belts 2 the ends get 4 rivet holes 10.
  • the bulges 8 are designed that for the ends 4 in the cutting areas A and B each result in cross sections that are at least about 70 - 90% compared to the cross sections at B.
  • the Cross section at the narrowest point at B corresponds to at least essentially the cross sections in area A.
